Russian draft statement on Syria

Placed under silence by Russia – until 4pm today, Monday 12 November 2012.

The members
of the Security Council expressed grave concern at and condemned in the
strongest terms recent threats to foreign citizens, diplomatic missions and diplomatic
agents, emanating from the Damascus military council of the Free Syrian Army.

Recalling,
in particular, the fundamental principle of international law on the
inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises, the members of the Security
Council reaffirmed that such threats are unjustifiable regardless of their
motivations, whenever and by whomsoever declared, and called upon those who
made them to repudiate these provocative statements.
